Six-Months War; Take 4

Its very pretty, though Germany and Japan are very hard to see and Optical's footnote idea might be good.

Still v. pretty though, especially in the Americas. :)
 
Brazil looks fukkin good. No really though, it does look good. Except for the Ottoman Empire.

Also "Italian Africa" Etc would be soo nice. Not because it doesn't read thus already, but it'd be cool. "Spanish Morroco." "German Sudan." Etc.

I will let the photograph from Mid-november of last year speak for itself. While the devastation to the ecological well-being of the Amazon Rainforest cannot be denied, neither can the increase in Brasil's economy and even public health. Although it has not yet been a year, the changes in towns bordering the Amazon have not gone un-noticed by the locals. Increased traffic through the towns (which to some may be a bad thing) has added to the sales of gasoline, train tickets, tourism and increased non-local money being moved through and into the local economy.

Pictured is a fourteen mile wide rectangular tract of land released by the Federal Government in which all of the tropical vegetation has been cut down and in some places burned. The material has been left out to dry for later use in construction of road signs and other non-weight bearing federal constructions.

One thing that has had a very negative effect to Brazillian locals has been the travelling colonies of Amazonian Carpenter Ants. The Carpenter Ants deconstruct and eat literally everything within a square mile of their current colony, which is an eight foot high mound constructed of dirt excavated from massive underground tunnel systems.

The Carpenter have been straying towards towns and have consumed entire flocks of sheep and herds of cows and even the fences, barns and grass, after being displaced by the deforestation going on.

Yeah, this would be cool.

And it should be Italian North Africa, or just each individual colony - Africa Orientale Italiana (east africa), Libia Italiana (Libya), Italiani del Nord Africa (For Algeria and Tunisia)

And orders sent.

I surrendered to christos, Italy will be Greek.
 
No he said you'd have mercy and he wouldn't be declared the Roman Emperor. You're fine.
 
I'll have orders in tomorrow afternoon. Unfortunately, my current ability is limited until I get two important PM responses. (TLK/Grandkhan)
 
Orders sent about two hours ago.

The Imperial Office of Diplomacy announces the signing of a new compact with the United States.

The Treaty of Honolulu

RECOGNIZING the current civil war occurring in the Qing Empire as disastrous to the stability and security of East Asia and the entire world, the necessity of trade to the growth and development of modern economies, the terrible cost of warfare between industrialized powers, and desiring stability and prosperity in the Americas, the Pacific Ocean, and East Asia, representatives of the great powers of the United States of America and the Empire of Great Japan have agreed as follows.

Article 1
The Empire of Japan shall recognize all current possessions held by the United States of America in the Pacific Ocean as their legal and sovereign territory, and shall agree never to interfere in the administration of the territory for the binding duration of this agreement. The United States of America shall recognize all current possessions held by the Empire of Japan in the Pacific Ocean as their legal and sovereign territory, and shall agree never to interfere in the administration of the territory for the binding duration of this agreement.

Article 2
The United States of America and the Empire of Japan shall agree to terms of non-aggression, lasting for a period of ten years, and renewable through mutual agreement by both parties through their respective legal processes. The terms of non-aggression include the avoidance of direct warfare, and also the refusal of support for parties at war with the other power, which would be construed as an indirect attack on the other power.

Article 3
The United States shall withdraw from the Treaty of Jinan, and cease support for the decrepit Qing Government. Japan shall introduce and enforce necessary measures to ensure that the stability and development return to China.

Article 4
The United States and Japan shall mutually reduce tariffs on each other, by a level of at least 25%. The exact reduction of rates shall be conducted in a way that shall mutually reduce the price of goods to a more equitable level, but not undermine domestic control of each parties economy. This reduction of tariffs shall be conducted in a way that shall facilitate trade directly between the powers, and also between their respective spheres of influences. An organization shall be founded as the Pacific Economic Council shall be established, with offices in Tokyo and San Francisco, to provide recommendations to each nation on the specific manner to enforce this article. This reduction of tariffs shall be done gradually over the course of two years, at which time the Pacific Economic Council shall be dissolved, modified, or maintained as per the wishes of the United States and Japan.

Article 5
This agreement shall go into effect immediately upon final ratification and shall expire six years from the date of final ratification. It shall be renewed based on terms agreeable to both parties through their respective legal processes, or cancelled. Article 1 and Article 4 shall continue in perpetuity until such a time that either power changes their policy, should this treaty be cancelled or a new treaty not directly address them.

Signed,
The Prime Minister of the Empire of Japan
His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Japan

Orders being written now if they are still being accepted.
 
Orders are still being accepted. For some reason my internet isn't working, andso im using my ipod. I may attempt to use this to start the update, or jist wait until tomorrow or so. That being said I'm going to be slow to reply to any PMs. Get some stories in, or pictures I could use.

Also, I hate numbering counties on maps. :p Id also write Quebec in French, but then I'd feel obligated to write each nation in their native tongue.

@gamez: in response to your PM, they say "go to hell."

@Eltain: I got your orders.

@gem hound: How?
 
Orders sent. The die has been cast.
 
OOC : @ christos : change it to the famous latin quote ..
I like it a lot
Alea iacta est

Also pretty theatrical
 
I have some good news, and some bad news. The good news is, my internet is back up and working. After about 2 hours, the repair.. guy, figured it was some faulty wires. I had also began updating a bit last night, with what I had available to me, and aside from a minor correction or two, the entirety of the Greek-Italian War has been decided.

The bad news is, I'm going out for most of the day, and will only have limited time to update tonight. Look for an update either tomorrow or Friday, I'm leaning towards Friday. I'll still accept orders, but no revisions, and get some friggin' pictures, flags and stories in. You can only make the NES better! *ramble*
